In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

TOSHIBA 42UL863R
General repair guidelines for TV LCD LED
Repair of electronic equipment usually begins with its external inspection and diagnosis of the malfunction. In this case, you should examine all the internal components of the TOSHIBA 42UL863R TV, as well as the external elements of the housing. Sometimes, based on visible changes in the components of the device, it is possible to draw some conclusions and determine the direction of further troubleshooting even before the necessary measurements are taken. Elements with visible damage, for example, capacitors swelled up after boiling the electrolyte, charred resistors in certain nodes of the circuit, as well as ring cracks in solders will help the master to guess the causes and possible consequences of the malfunction.
If the 42UL863R TV does not turn on, does not make any sounds when it is turned on, and also no indicators on the front panel light or blink - there is a high probability of a malfunction in the power supply module. In some cases, only the regulator or power converter of the control processor may be faulty, which is typical for some TOSHIBA models. It is advisable to start the troubleshooting of the power supply module by checking the state of the electrolytic capacitors of the rectifier filters and the mains fuse. Defective capacitors should be replaced. If the mains fuse is broken, it is necessary to check first of all the power semiconductor elements - rectifier diodes and transistors, which are often found in such a state of breakdown.
Power switches in switching power supplies (SMPS) fail extremely rarely for no reason and, if they are broken, it is necessary to look for a malfunction in the stabilization circuits by checking electrolytic capacitors, semiconductor devices, and resistors in the primary circuit. The reason may be a malfunction of the PWM controller chip A6069H (7), FAN7930, which can only be checked by replacing it with a new or obviously working one.
In cases where the TOSHIBA 42UL863R TV has lost its image, and the sound is there and all the other functions are operational, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the LED driver (a converter for powering the T420HF04 V.1 LED 75024795 backlight LEDs). When you turn on the TV, the image may appear briefly and disappear immediately. It must be borne in mind that with such manifestations the LEDs themselves also fail.
In most cases of lack of backlight, it becomes necessary to disassemble the panel in order to check the LEDs, connectors, loops and all contact connections. If one or several LEDs does not work in one line, therefore, they are broken and should be replaced.
When trying to detect a break in the LED lines, it should be taken into account that it is difficult to do this without disassembling the panel. For example, a current source is needed to open PN junctions connected in series.
Repair of the motherboard PE0982C main U863 75024693 must begin with the diagnosis and verification of all linear stabilizers or power converters of its microcircuits. Sometimes it may be necessary to update the software (software) - flashing FLASH or EEPROM.
Before replacing the tuner ENGS7305D5F, if there is no tuning to the channels, first you need to check the supply voltage at its terminals, including the power supply of varicaps (30-33V).
Once again, remind users! Attempts to independently repair the TOSHIBA 42UL863R TV without the appropriate qualifications and experience can lead to its complete non-repairability!



Repair MainBoard
The appearance of MainBoard PE0982 is shown in the figure below:
PE0982
PE0982 can be used in TVs:
TOSHIBA 42UL863R (Panel T420HF04 V.1 LED 75024795), TOSHIBA 46SL833R (Panel T460HF02 V.1), TOSHIBA 46UL863R (Panel T460HF02 V.1), TOSHIBA 37SL833R (Panel T370HF01 V.0), TOSHIBA 32SL833R (Panel T315HF01 V.0).
PSU Advanced
According to the conditions of compliance with modern world standards for household switching power supplies, the PA-3201-01TS-LF module provides for the use of a Power Factor Correction unit. The PFC circuit is a flyback converter based on the FAN7930 PWM controller. The reactance of an electrolytic capacitor of a line filter at a frequency of 50-60 Hz is usually not more than 20-30 ohms and its charge directly from the network through open diodes could reach tens of amperes per pulse, if not used  no filtering.
As a result of the PFC conversion, an increased voltage on the capacitor (about 380V) cannot directly open the rectifier diodes, on the anode of which the voltage will always be slightly less (about 300V) and then its charging current will always be limited by the elements of the PWM controller. As a result, the envelope of the high-frequency pulses of the consumed current will repeat the shape and phase of the input sinusoidal voltage. The presence of an increased voltage (+ 380V) on the network capacitor indicates the serviceability of the PFC node.
The appearance of the power supply
Key Features of the TOSHIBA 42UL863R:
Installed matrix (LED-panel) T420HF04 V.1 LED 75024795.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) T315HW07.
The LED driver T420HF04 is used to power the backlight LEDs.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the TOSHIBA 42UL863R TV are generated by the PA-3201-01TS-LF power module or its analogs using A6069H (7), FAN7930 (PFC) microcircuits.

Attention! The T420HF04 V.1 LED panel 75024795 of the TOSHIBA 42UL863 LED TV is an expensive and unreliable element.
Avoid any impact on the glass and pressure on the surface of the screen to avoid damage to the LED panel!
It is also unsafe to get liquid on the screen. Sometimes one drop is enough if it flows down the glass onto the cables so that the TV becomes unrepairable.
